Reports usages of <code>java.util.Collections</code> fields: <code>EMPTY_LIST</code>, <code>EMPTY_MAP</code>
or <code>EMPTY_SET</code>. These field usages may be replaced with the following method
calls: <code>emptyList()</code>, <code>emptyMap()</code>, or <code>emptySet()</code>.
Such method calls prevent unchecked warnings by the compiler because the type parameters can be inferred.
<p><b>Example:</b></p>
<pre><code>
  List&lt;Integer&gt; emptyList = Collections.EMPTY_LIST;
</code></pre>
<p>After the quick-fix is applied:</p>
<pre><code>
  List&lt;Integer&gt; emptyList = Collections.emptyList();
</code></pre>
